Here's a short list of poems related to the theme of identity that my students generally seem to like. (And they're all relatively easy to understand.)
"Richard Cory" by E. A. Robinson.
"We Wear the Mask" by Dunbar
"Barbie Doll" by Marge Piercy
"Woman" by Nikki Giovanni
"Phenomenal Woman" by Maya Angelou
Best of luck to you....

Andrew Marvel-"To his coy mistress"
It is about a man who is trying to convince this woman to have sex with him. He uses the argument that she should have sex with him now while she is young and pretty because when she is hold, no one will want her. This "stereotype" is expressed in the line: And your quaint honor shall turn to dust, and into ashes all my lust.

Offal - i visit't eat any of it. yet i detect olive oil yummy only with a touch salt added, and that i understand others discover it yucky. I also love black pudding, made ideally from pigs' blood, and others discover that yucky. And the first Mate loves garlic, which repels me at one hundred yards (or metres, or meters, as you pick).

"Mother to Son"
Well, son, I'll tell you:
Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
It's had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor—
Bare.
But all the time
I'se been a-climbin' on,
And reachin' landin's,
And turnin' corners,
And sometimes goin' in the dark
Where there ain't been no light.
So, boy, don't you turn back.
Don't you set down on the steps.
'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.
Don't you fall now—
For I'se still goin', honey,
I'se still climbin',
And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
by Langston Hughes
